American Rights on the Istl,mus

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The President has
sent to the House in answer to resolution
| calling for the same report from the Secre-
tary of State setting forth his action to pro-
tect the interests of American citizens whose
property was destroyed by fire caused by in
surgents at Aspinwall in 1885. The Secre-
tarv says that negotiations were commenced
in October last and are now pending between
the United States and Colombia for the pur-
pose of establishing an international commits
sion to whom may be referred for adjustment
according to the rules of international law
and the treaties existing between the two
countries the claims referred to. The Secre-
tary quotes the treaty between the United
States and New Grenada concerning the
maintenance of free opening of the Isthmus
of Panama and observes that on several occa-
sions the government of the United States
at the instance, and always with the assent
OF Colombia, has in times of civil tumult sent
Its armed forces to the Isthmus of Panama to
preserve American citizens and property
along the transit from injuries which the
government of Colombia might at the time
be unable to prevent; but that in taking such
steps this government has always recognized
the sovereignty and obligation of Colombia
in the premises and has never acknowledged
but on the contrary has expressly disclaimed
the duty of protecting the transit against do
nestle disturbance. The Secretary of State
does not deem it compatible with public in
terest to send to Congress the correspondence
on the subject in question

THE FISHERIES of JAPAN.
An Agent Sent Over to Get Practical
knowledge In American Waters.

An Agent Sent Over to Get Practical
knowledge In American Waters.
GLOUCESTER, Feb. Arrangements are
nearly completed for the national fishery
convention to be held here Wednesday and
Thursday. General Cogswell, Congressman
elect from this district, Judge Woodbury. and
Hon. Fitz j. Babson will be present and make
speeches. President Steele of the American
fishery union will preside and some two hun
dred delegates are expected. Kadsgutaka
Ito, an agent of the Japanese government, is
in this city and will attend the convention.
Ito is about twenty eight years cd. He be-
longs at Sapparo, Island of Yesso, Japan and
four months ago left home as an agent of the
government to investigate the fisheries and
study the methods and mode of catching and
curing fish. A particular part of the Ameri-
can fisheries will be his chief study-that
of curing and preserving fish. With that
object in view he has already spent several
months in California and Oregon investi-
eating the methods of the Pacific coast.
Gloucester being the headquarters of the At
lantic deep sea fisheries, he proposes to re-
main here for large part of the coming
summer. Saturday evening he called upon
Captain Collins of the United States fish
commissions schooner Grampus and was
tremely interested in large amount of man
uscript which he is preparing for the
Smithsonian Institute. He not only wishes
to secure information in regard to the meth
DDS of catching and curing. but in the mod
els of vessels and boats used in securing them
both on our own shores and the more dis
tant waters of the deep fisheries of the
Western and Newfoundland banks. He
will soon make voyage with Captain
Collins on the Grampus and be initiated into
the mysteries of deep sea dredging, how the
| fish are caught and preserved alive in the
well of the schooner las she is smack) and
the entire methods of the commission as it is
carried on at Woods Holl He also pro-
poses later on to ship on board of one of
the Grand or Western bank fisherman and
| learn by actual experience, the manner and
every day life of the fisherman as it comes to
! him while pursuing his calling Ito says
I Japan has cod, halibut, mackerel,
| herring and pollock. Fish is the prin-
| cipal article of diet there. The value
| of the catch is 100000 annually
A large quantity is exported. The fisheries
of Japan are exclusive to the people The
| greater portion of their fish are in shore and
| caught in small boats. The schooner is not
used in Japan as a fishing craft. The present
| method of Japanese curing needs improve
| ment. About New Years the fishermen of
the island of Yesso ship cod by steamer to
! the southern part of japan. In that locality
cod are just as necessary for the New Years
dinner as the turkey is to Americans at
| Thanksgiving.

BOSTON, Feb 21-The South Boston road
ran fifty ears and the strikers had thirty-two
| barges competing with them to-day. At the

serene. There is no attempt at making
"bluff" claims, but there is a quiet frmness
| about the men which gives one an impress
sion of strength A member of the execu-
tive committee says: ssThere has been no
break in our ranks since Saturday. Twelve
men left US then, but of these eight have
come back to and two more have closed
with the company and left them SO there are
only one or two of the men now working.

pany cannot run the road with the class of
men they have now running. They say that
the cars carry no passengers, that the road
is losing 81 600 a day and that it is only
question of time when it will have to take
back the old men at their OWL terms. The
following resolutions were adopted to day by

their great JOY that this medicine really did
cure these diseases.
